ZIM vs SL Harare Sports Club Pitch Report:
The surface at the Harare Sports Club, the venue for the second and final ZIM vs SL ODI, is expected to be good for batting wth a bit of help for the bowlers early in the match, taking into account it's a day game.
The batters will have to play with caution in the first hour of play during the first innings, as the ball was moving off the deck in the first ODI and is expected to do so in the second game as well.
The bowlers will have to pitch the ball in the right spot to get whatever help is present in the wicket.
The team that wins the toss should look to bowl first to make full use of the bowling-friendly conditions that will be on show in the Morning.
Having said that, batters can also dictate terms once the help that the bowlers will get from the pitch is gone, as was the case at the backend of Sri Lanka's batting innings.
The visitors were able to post what eventually proved to be a match-winning total of 298 runs after being reduced to 161-5 courtesy of some good bowling by Zimbabwe's bowlers.
A score of 280-290 can be a good total on a wicket that behaved differently from either end.
While the batters were able to trust the bounce at one end whereas there was a bit of variable bounce at the other.
Zimbabwe would like to get the job done in the second and final outing in the tw match ODI series after coming close to doing so in the first match, only to fall short in the last over of the contest.
The team management would want the bowlers not to let the pressure get off the Sri Lankan batters, as they were found guilty of doing so in the previous match.
Blessing Muzarabani, along with three other fast bowlers, will have to make sure that they keep picking up wickets at regular intervals in the second and third powerplay as well.
For Sri Lanka, they would have felt that they got out of jail as they were looking down and out coming into the 100th over of the match, and it took a hat-trick from Madushanka to get them over the line.
The Charith Asalanka-led side would like to put on a much-improved performance in all three departments of the game to ensure that they stay on the right side of the result at the end of the match.
Conclusion
Zimbabwe will have one last opportunity to level the series when they take the field to play in the second ODI against Sri Lanka.
As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, the visitors would like to pocket another series courtesy of a win in the final game of the two-match ODI series
